DrAquidel 2 Posted February 6 (edited) GoG The steam version is the GoG version re-badged. There is more information at the SimHQ EAW forum Edited February 6 by DrAquidel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkEAW 63 Posted February 6 (edited) GOG was first and the Steam was 2nd to get EAW. They are both the same game; A super patched v1.2. Both require a new ddraw.dll to be present....... Read my GOG Patches Help Document. (be sure to keep reading CombatACE EAW forum for more hints for GOG users). https://eaw.neocities.org/gog-patches.html Edited February 6 by MarkEAW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizard43 8 Posted February 7 I don't have EAW but in general terms, doesn't GOG have some advantages over Steam for legacy games? I have a couple old PC's (Win7 & XP) that I maintain for legacy games. Steam has and will continue to end support for retired versions of Windows. So at some point, if you had EAW on a version of Windows that Steam drops support for, wouldn't you be forced to move your install to a new OS? I really like GOG because their games are just a simple installer you install once and you're done. Will the Steam client potentially update your game, possibly messing with any mods you might have? Clearly I don't know a lot about Steam LOL. Wizard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkEAW 63 Posted February 8 Yeah, your right....from everything everyone tells me GOG is better to deal with there site/software than steam, just in general. I pretty sure the GOG/Steam installer for EAW from these sites won't run on WinXP, not sure about Vista. I can't remember though if you could find a way to open there installer without running it, if you had too. I also read about Steam overlay software (I guess its called something like that) won't work on older systems soon. Just like Wizard43 said. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
